MicroCose Studio Plus problems

[NavMicroSystems]

Has anyone else experienced unreliable operation of MicroCode Studio Plus on their systems?

MCS+ works just fine for me, never had any problem with the loader or ICD.

What kind of help are you expecting if you don't post your code and schematic?

What I'm hoping is that someone will have had similar experience with their large programs and suggest possible fixes.

I doubt you would want to review my code. It nearly fills an 8KByte 16F877, which is why I'm porting it to PicBasic Pro, which supports the larger 18F devices.

The schematic of the serial port interface is directly from the Mechanique app notes.

As most of my design use more than 16K now, i always use the Bootloader. Never had manyt problems with. The only problem that persist, and it's not a big one, is when i use the compile/program Button. Sometimes it works sometimes no. I have a message like "Reset target processor' blah blah. No big deal, use compile, wait 1-2 secondes, then program the PIC... must be caused by a slow machine.. i don't care too much about that problem..

I'm not a big ICD fan/user so i can't really comment one. The only thing i could suggest is, as you said, use multiple Disable/Enable... Sorry, this is not helpfull

Sure you must run your PIC at least @20MHZ for better results
